According to Romano's latest report, the Italian Federation president Gabriele Gravina, following Italy's failure to qualify for the World Cup, resigns.
Gravina has held the highest position within the Italian football association since October 2018. The Nazionale won Euro 2020 during his tenure, but also failed to qualify for the 2022 and 2026 World Cups while he was in charge. Italy had also failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup prior to Gravina’s appointment.
Gravina was in charge of the Italian federation for the appointments of Luciano Spalletti and Gennaro Gattuso as head coaches in 2023 and 2025 respectively.

At this rate of football failure in Italy, they should even rename everything about Italian football.

Italy should deal with the issue of coaching. They should have good coaches, Gatusso is not good enough. When they had Mancini at least they won the Euro with a convincing brand of football

So after everything Italian football has been through… this is how it ends? stepping down now doesn’t erase the damage already done. Missing out on the World Cup again is not just a failure — it’s a humiliation for a nation with such a rich football history 🇮🇹💔 This is a country that gave the world legends, trophies, and unforgettable moments… and now fans are left watching from home again. That’s unacceptable. Leadership is about responsibility, not timing your exit when things fall apart. Italian football deserved better. The fans deserved better. The badge deserved better. Hopefully, this marks the start of real change — not just another reset with the same mistakes ⚠️
